Excerpt from Cross's Eclectic Short-Hand: A New System, Adapted Both to General Use and to Verbatim Reporting
The past fifty years have, with their bewilderment of improvements in science and art, increased the facilities for the transmission of thought, until the material means em ployed seem to be dematerialized, and thought flies with the rapidity Of its conception. In the midst of this inter esting era, this glittering succession Of triumphal advances, the art of writing alone remains unchanged. The hand of the writer plods as wearily today as it did a century ago; and thought waiting for embodiment is cramped, its beauty tarnished, its ardor cooled, its flame extinguished, and its majesty clouded. Is it not time that this pen-burden were lifted, and thought disenthralled?
SO surely as all progress depends on mind, must perma nent thought be borne on the wings of the pen; and any medium which shall render its recording fluent, like speech.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of shorthand, tracing its evolution from ancient hieroglyphics to the more modern systems of the 19th century. The author meticulously examines the history of shorthand, exploring its development in various cultures, including ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. The book then explores the rise of phonetic shorthand, pioneered by Isaac Pitman in the 19th century. The author compares Pitman's phonography to other systems of the time, highlighting the advantages and limitations of each approach. However, the book does not simply present historical analysis. It proposes a new, more efficient system of shorthand, designed to be both rapid and easy to learn. The author contends that existing systems are hindered by complex vowel schemes and cumbersome alphabetic lines, rendering them inaccessible to the general public. He argues that his new system, with its streamlined alphabet and innovative vowel system, overcomes these limitations and offers a truly accessible and efficient method of recording thought. The book concludes by exploring the author's unique approach, arguing that his system is capable of empowering the individual with a powerful tool for communication and expression. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
